I have added a page on family Obituaries and Death Records I have found. I finally found Rhonda Michener's--daughter of Beryl Parker & Bill Michener of Indianpolis, IN. I will also add the old ones I found in the Putnam County, IN library listings. See: /obituaries.html

I found the obit of Samuel Arthur Peet, one of 12 children; my grandma Lilian Gertrude Butler had been a Peet. The obit offers special thanks to the Butler family, so I assume this is the correct family line. I have posted this one on the Obit page also. I have also found the obit of Marjorie Eleanor Peet--there MUST be a connection as my mom was named Margery and her sister was named Eleanor. I think Lilian & Marjorie must have been sisters.
